1.0 out of 5 stars TOO EXPENSIVE!!, July 9 2004

This review is from: The Professional Model's Handbook (Paperback)

This book was very expensive, and a rip off. I returned it for a refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Modeling Book Out There!, Oct 17 2003

Jennifer (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Professional Model's Handbook (Paperback)

I've read many modeling books, but I think that this book is the best because it gives you information about make-up, hair, photo sessions, analyzing your face, agency information, and etc. There is so much information in here that I had to read at least 5 books for. I bought this book after 2 years of modeling and I wish I had read it when I was starting out. This is a great book to add to your collection and if you are a model you should always be reading books and studying your field. Don't get started until you are absolutely sure this is what you want and you know everything about the industry. Good Luck!

2.0 out of 5 stars A tired, dated analysis..., Jun 21 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Professional Model's Handbook (Paperback)

Balhorn's explicit exploration of the intricacies of the (mainly American) modelling world seem perfect for the brash mid 1980's surge in modelling interest and public obsession, yet seems almost comically isolated in today's understated chic that the industry is based upon.
